AIO Liquid Cooling - Recommendation

xFeaRDom · Nov 4, 2016

Hi Community,

Sort of in a terrible mood at the moment so sort of in a screw it mood to just buy something I don't necessarily need.

I've been wanting to get an AIO liquid cooler for my CPU for a while, and when I finally upgrade my CPU then it may come in use (Wanting to Overclock), and I just wanted some suggestions on something that would beat my current CPU cooler, which was some cheap thing I bought to get me by for now (Arctic Freezer 13) and I'm not too sure on the 'Good' AIO liquid coolers.

Not sure if my case can take 140mm Fans but I may be willing to do some DIY work to fit them

Can you recommend me the best ones, both 240mm and 280mm.

P.S. I know they leak but oh well, if it does it does.

I would recommend to analyse why do you want a AIO.

If you are going to make a mid Overclock (not an extreme one, and in that case im not sure about an AIO) a proper air cooler have the same performance, more MBTF and cost less.

If you still want to go the AIO for example due appearance or for a pasive cooling system while not gamming then a proper recomendations could be made.

I am wanting to get the best OC out of the chip possible when I upgrade, and keeping it under 80c (Preferrably 70c) My current air cooler could probably get a 4.5GHz overclock depending on my luck with the chip.

https://www.ekwb.com/shop/ek-xlc-predator-280-incl-qdc , your CPU will still around 80c even with predator on it, but its 250 bucks price tag justified mood, now it won't leak because its pre-filled, after 13 to 16 month, comes maintenance (drain, refill, bleed the loop), this is the part that separate boys from grownups, fail to complete the steps, bye bye CPU.

Most or even almost all of the AIO systems i doubt that would get you a lot better performance that the best Air coolers.
If you want the best OC posible, then my choice would be a custom open loop with the best parts and propably even some fancy and not common pieces like peltier plates and freezers from aquariums (i on some time make test with a Hailea HC150 and the results are impresive, as there are the problems and the cost and troubles it brings).
